We have been trying to maintain a linear history with git following the 
process explained in the README.developers file. I think that the fork 
and pull-request system would break this?

Also, I have been maintaining an unofficial mirror here:
https://github.com/HazenBabcock/PLplot

And we do have a PLplot organization on github, though we've not done 
much with it:
https://github.com/PLplot

I am not familiar with Travis-CI or AppVeyor but they sound interesting.
